Willis Case Sentenced to
Death—Texas Vet
THE WILLIS CASE.
Austin, April I.—Nothing remains
of the Willis case now but lor (he senators
to record their votes and render
their decision as to whether he shall
longer wear the judicial ermine. The
afternoon and night sessions of the senate
were devoted to the case, and the arguments
liavejust been concluded. Attorney
General Hogg opened soon after
the meeting of the senate at 3 o’clock
and spoke one hour and fortyfiva minutes,
presenting the case ot the state.
He recited the history of the case and
then addressed himself to the technical
objections to the proceedings, showing
that the cours pursued was according to
law and precedent. He summed up all
the circumstances and facts in the case,
insisting that they exhibit willful corruption.
Judge Willis followed in his own
behalf. It had been understood that his
counsel, Judge Walton and Judge Carroll,
would also speak, but Judge Willis
consumed all the time alloted to his s de.
His speech was 01 all hands pronounced
a masteily defence, and sentiment,
which this morning was generally adverse
to him, is mu. h more divided to'
night. Indeed, there are quite a number
who bel.eve he will not be voted
guilty.
STARVATION IN ATASCOSA.
Austin, Tex.. April 1.—State Senator
Woodward has received a statement
from Atascosa connly. sworn to by four
responsible citizens and endorsed by the
county judge, sheriff and district and
county clerks, giving the names of nineleen
lamilies in that county whom the
affidavits declare are in a condition of
starvation, occasioned by the drouth.
The number of persons in each family is
stated, showing a total of 106. The paper
states that these families are unable
to procure sufficient lood and are now
resorting in some cases to eating carcasses
of cattle that died from starvation
and begging bread from their neighbors
to sustain life. Those who would aid
them, if possible, are themselves in distress,
and have nothing that can be spared.
The signers 01 the statement appeal
f ir aid from the legislature, but as nothing
more can be expected from that
source, it is left for the generous and
more fortunate of other counties to render
such aid as they can.
PROHIBITION AT AUSTIN.
Austin. Tex., April 1.—The probibition
moviment has undoubtedly made
great headway here among the colored
people. The religious portion of the
colored people ate talking prohibition
strongly. However, the True Blues, so
called, will go to work systematically
and make it interesting for the colored
preachers. Among nonpartisan whites
of the city a good many unexpected prohibitionists
ate found. Democrats and
republicans are divided, and the party
whip won’t work here any more to lash
democrats into voting with the T. B.
party than it will to scare republicans
into the prohibition camp. Everybody
anticipates a redhot campaign, and
mpny expect a close vote.
BLOODY WORK IN EAST TEXAS.
San Augustine, April 1.—A terrible
and bloody fight occurred ten miles be
low Hemphill, in Sabine county, this
morning about sunrise between Capt.
Scott and his rangers on one side and
old Willis Connor on the other, in which
three of the Connors and one ranger,
named Rodgers,were immediately killed.
Capt. Scott and another of his men were
badly if not fatally wounded. One Connor
escaped, but the rangers are in hot
Cursuit. The Connors are said to have
rought on the fight, firing, it is alleged,
from ambush. News reached here by a
srtanger who came after a doctor to attend
the wounded.
SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Tyler, Tex., April 1.—Today District
Judge McCord parsed sentence of death
on Albert Robertson, colored, who in
September last was convicted on an indictment
charging him with the murder
of his w ife by shooting her with a pistol.
The 27th day of May next is the date
fixed lor his execution. Since his conviction
the doomed man has been gradually
sinking in heath, till now it seems
doubtful whether he will live till the fatal
day.
POSTPONEMENT OF TAXES.
Austin, April 1.—The passage of the
house bill postponing taxes finally today
by the adoption of the senate amendment
does not in fact postpone the forced collection
even should the governor sign
the bill. The date for forced collections
is the 1st of March, but the bill does not
go into effect, and in fact is not a law
until ninety days after adjournment, by
which time the collectors will have
forced collections. It would not be operative
anyway because the governor
would not sign a bill that would leave
the treasury empty from May 1st to September
1st. The appropriation bill of
the last legislature was for the two years
ending the 1st of last March, and since
then the government has been running
on a credit. The balance in the treasury
to day is $382,000, and the expenses of
the government, perhaps, $100,000 from
March 1st, except legislative expenses
Under such a condition of the finances
it is safe to say the postponement bill
would never get the governor’s approval.
TEXAS VETERANS.
Corsicana, Tex., April 1.—The several
committees appointed some time since
to prepare for the entertainment of the
Texas veterans April 21, met this evening
and mapped out some of the perpartory
work. It was agreed that a grand
basket dinner would be given by the citizens
on San Jacinto Day in honor of the
veterans at the compress yards, a place
where, under any sort of weather, everybody
can be made comfortable.
Slanderous Advertisements.
Certain anonymous slanderous advertisements
have appeared in the
papers abusing young ladies who have
been doing a good work by their exposure
of the adulteration in baking
powders. The scurrilous advertisement
headed ‘‘Baking Powder 1 ramps,” shows
its design and authorship so plainly that
it is received with contemptuous disgust
by every intelligent person, and needs no
comment whatever. The other advertisement
(rotn the same company,
headed “A Disrepntable Trick,” and
many others of a like nature, is more
cunningly written, and contains some
bold falsehoods.
Universi ty of Texas, March 19, 1887.
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder contains no
flour, n r any constituent other than
pure.
Edgar Everhart, Ph. D.,
Professor of Chemistiy.
Prof. Everhart says that th action of
Dr. Price's Powder is an evidence of its
superiority; that the boiling of a powder
will evolve ammonia if it is contained
flierein, and that pure cream of tartar
baking powders will not give off ammonical
gas. These facts, given from such
good authority, effectually refute the
false statements made in the anonymous
“ad,” both as regards the flour and
the insinuation that good baking powder
will give off ammonical gas when submitted
to heat. To call these ladies
“swindlers” comes with ill grace horn a
company who, for years, have been
foisting upon the public an article adulterated
with '‘the poisonous drug,
ammonia,” and who, with the money
thus obtained, have abused all honest
competitors. The fact, therefore, remains
that the practical tests, as shown
by the ladies, backed by the leading
chem s sof the United States, prove indisputably
the healthfulness and
superior quality of Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder.—Austin, Tex., States
Ger. Lee’s Red Headed Daughter.
Wash naton Let er.
Miss Mildred Lee’s stay in Washington
was rendered very pleasant by a succession
of handsome lunch and dinner parties
given in her honor. In speaking with a
friend the other day about Miss Lee’s
strong, handio ne face and her abundant
suit of irongray hair she related a funny
incident which had come within her experience
during the war while staying at
one of the old Virginia homesteads,
where, fur the time being, Miss Lee had
sought sir Iter. One day the Union
soldiers came into town. As she passed
a window at which one of the soldiers
was eagerly peering through, he recognized
her, and shouted to his comrades:
“Here boys, come look; here’s the redheaded
daughter of the rebel general.”
Quick as. a flash she turned, and advanring
to the door, threw it wide open, as
she glanced defiantly at them, saying:
“If by the term ‘Rebel General’ you
mean General Lee, 1 am p oud of the
fact that I am his daughter; but my hair
is not red.” Her courage and spirir
were heartily appreciated by the boys in
blue, who greeted her speech with three
rousing cheers, and then, lifting their
hats respectfully, retired.
